Night Contradicts the Day

‘Hölderlin’s lovely blueness
you hold to you,
it is tensile
through the smeared glass’
This week, we join Sally in conversation with poet, critic, and translator Stephen Romer, following the recent publication of his latest poetry pamphlet, Night Contradicts the Day. Listen for reflections on the intimacies - or otherwise - of care, empathy and its absence, and the challenge laid down by the neurodivergent mind. The poems in this pamphlet also stress the redemptive power of the aesthetic.
Stephen’s pamphlet is published by Dare-Gale Press, and can be purchased here.
The Lizst piece mentioned is the famous B-Minor Sonata, and can be listened to here.
This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.
Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.
